Water main break temporarily closes Hampton Township road

Water poured down a Hampton Township road Monday morning after a water main break.

The break in a 12-inch line happened shortly after 5:30 a.m. Police temporarily closed Wildwood Road between Grouse Run and Bella Vista Drive because of the water rushing down both lanes.

Water service was disrupted for about 20 homes and a business.

TRENDING NOW:

Dennis Workman was among those who lost water pressure. He said he was getting about one-quarter of the water he usually does.

“I went downstairs. I thought we had a leak in the house somewhere, but nothing,” Workman said.

Crews quickly cut off water to the broken line and Wildwood Road reopened to traffic. Repairs lasted into the afternoon.
